Does the 1TB SSD Hybrid 2.5" HD work w/ Laptop Dual Drive?

I WANT TO BUY THE 1 TB SSD Hybrid 2.5" Hard Drive AND USE IT ON MY MACBOOK PRO ALONG WITH Unibody Laptop Dual Drive - Upgrade Kit

I NOTICED ON THE Unibody Laptop Dual Drive - Upgrade Kit PAGE IT STATES HARD DRIVE LIMIT OF 750 GB.

Correct. You're better off putting the hybrid into your main spot and putting your current drive into the enclosure.

I'm not a fan of the Seagate hybrid drives due to how they work. The TL;DR version of it is they are useless for anything big(or anything that would fill the 8-16GB) SSD "cache" on them in short order. They do nothing to help speed up large applications, so that negates the purpose of the idea to me. I have also had mine(a 5000GB that came in my laptop) run slower then a pure SATA III hard drive.

What I would do is lose the optical drive and get a full SSD for the computer and install the hard drive type adapter that goes into your DVD drive bay.
